In 2023, there will once again be many exciting climbing camps in Tyrol where you can improve your vertical climbing skills. Whether sport climbing, bouldering or via ferrata, whether beginner or advanced - you'll find what you're looking for here!
1st Safety First and beginner climbing camps
With the first warm rays of sunshine, the outdoor season starts again. Rock climbing is finally back in season - and it's all the rage. Two factors that contribute to a significant increase in the risk of accidents. Outside on the rocks, the rules of the game are completely different to those indoors. If you feel a little rusty when it comes to rock climbing know-how, or perhaps want to gain your first climbing experience outdoors, there are many opportunities to (re)update your knowledge in a course.
SAAC climbing camps
The SAAC mountain guides are professionals in all types of climbing and show you what is important (in terms of safety) in the outdoor climbing camps.
Info: A SAAC climbing camp lasts 1.5 days and has a theoretical and practical part. The course is aimed at people aged 14 and over and is free of charge; in exceptional cases, travel costs may be incurred.

6. via ferrata camps
Via ferratas are popular and the barriers to entry are low. Unfortunately, with the increased demand, the number of accidents and rescues from via ferratas is also on the rise. To increase safety and awareness of the dangers involved in this discipline, more and more courses are being offered.
Via ferrata camp Achensee
The 4-day Achensee via ferrata camp, which takes place from June 15 to June 18, 2023, is the perfect introduction to via ferrata climbing. Get the best tips and tricks from the pros - and a completely different kind of summit experience! The Achensee region is one of the most popular climbing areas in Tyrol for good reason. In the Rofan and Karwendel mountains, which flank Tyrol's largest lake, you will find a very exciting range of via ferratas. One highlight is the 5-summit via ferrata, which is one of the longest via ferrata routes in Austria and leads to the most striking mountain peaks in the Rofan, making the hearts of all mountain sports enthusiasts beat faster.
climbhow Ferrata - Fit for the via ferrata
On August 11 & 12, the two-day climbhow Ferrata will take place in the Muttekopf area near Imst.
7th Alpine Climbing Camps
Far away from crowded climbing gardens, high up, where only you and your partner are connected as a rope team and you can share moments together. Alpine climbing is the supreme discipline of climbing. And quite a few people are denied this terrain because it requires a good deal of know-how: awareness of danger, climbing skills, rope, safety and rescue techniques. The inhibition threshold is higher and it is all the more important to be absolutely confident in alpine terrain and to master all the skills required. So if you want to get into alpine climbing, it's better to take the opportunity to learn the ropes in a course with an experienced mountain guide. Better safe than sorry!
